SailorDoc4781 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I have had these rudder pedals for about a year, maybe less. The rudders work just fine. Flying the FA 18, in the setup for F18 I have the left wheel brake on X axis and the right on Y. They have been calibrated using MFG config system. Unfortunately the brakes are not working at all. Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.
squid509 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 i would first recheck your control bindings make sure everything is bound the way you like them and DCS did not bind some other controls to some random axis. the test the peddles in windows Game Controllers panel
SailorDoc4781 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Posted August 17, 2020 I'll check windows game controllers panel...everything else has been checked. DCS did not bind and cables have been checked. Thanks
maxTRX Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I have had these rudder pedals for about a year, maybe less. The rudders work just fine. Flying the FA 18, in the setup for F18 I have the left wheel brake on X axis and the right on Y. They have been calibrated using MFG config system. Unfortunately the brakes are not working at all. Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated. I use the old Saitek Pro and I remember I had to 'invert' the axes for the brakes. Zero dead zone and whatever curves you need to set. It's also a good practice to stand on the brakes as a pre-taxi check to make sure the axes are not stuck and working properly. Edit: just noticed you said you had the axes calibrated in MFG config. Can you assign any axes to brakes in DCS? Edited August 17, 2020 by Gripes323
Gladman Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Have you downloaded the MFG calibration tool and run it? i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord
Meyomyx Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Have you downloaded the MFG calibration tool and run it? Agree - I only had 50% braking on one pedal. Resolved by recalibrating the pedals internally. Download the software from Crosswind - there's an onboard eprom that it talks to.
Meyomyx Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 It should look like this. Make sure each pedal is at zero - 4096 when depressed. If not, use the START calibration buttons - DON@T FORGET TO HIT "APPLY". when you're done
SailorDoc4781 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 Thank you so much for your help. I contacted MFG yesterday and received a fast response regarding the brake issue.It's like Gripes323 mentioned. The need to INVERT the axes for the brakes. I did everything BUT that. I have since inverted the brake axis and they work perfectly. Thanks to all who reached out to help me. Greatly appreciated.

How were you taxing with the brakes on all the time? You didn't notice you had to push the brake to move? Buzz
